57 People Reveal What Dating A Celebrity Is Actually Like

My stepdad's cousin dated Woody Harrelson in college. He pursued her for two months, following her to classes, leaving weird notes on her dorm hall corkboard, and calling her every day with Bible quotes. She finally went out with him, and ended up taking him to Thanksgiving with her family. Her dad thought he was "a no good piece of s**t slacker". They broke up just before Christmas; they were both cheating on each other by then anyway.

EDIT: Now that I've read the infamous AMA, it rings a few bells. Apparently Woody didn't like to talk about things he didn't bring up himself, most especially his family and his dating history.

I worked on Gilmore Girls as an extra. Then one day Alexis Bledel walked past me and said, "Hey."
And I replied back, "Hey".

So yeah, I guess I could say that's as serious as that ever got.

D**n! Too late for this one but my mom dated Louis C.K. back in high school. Said he was a bit awkward, nice guy. Funny enough, took her to a comedy club on both dates. Tried to win her back later on by baking her a pie, didn't work though I guess.

My Girl Scout troop leader dated Johnny Depp in high school, if remember correctly. I doubt they dated long; she said he was strange. She had pictures of them together and year books and j***. We all thought it was so awesome and were wondering which kid in our elementary school was destined for fame.

She canceled our meeting one week to go to his wedding. She was cool.

I had a thing with an NBA player. He was totally normal really, despite him being a big name. It was mostly a casual thing. We met at a bar and I was the only girl not trying to climb all over him so we ended up talking about our favorite Fantasy Football players (he hooked me up with some great tips for my team). Eventually he just turned into a superstar so we don't really talk anymore- but there's no ill will. His name sounds like dessert. Always made me hungry.

Since there are so many comments this most likely won't be seen, but I'll tell it anyway.

My cousin dated Emma Stone right before she got really big. He even brought her to meet my grandmaw and his family. This was while he worked on The Help as a directors assistant. Proof. He has loads of pictures with her. He was also an extra in the movie which was really cool.

I dated Joel Zimmerman (Deadmau5) for about 10 months in 2005. He was living with his mother in Niagara Falls at the time, waiting for his visa to be approved so he could move back to California. He had already travelled through Europe at that point and was famous there, but not yet in North America. He didn't drive, so I always did lol. Great times. One of the most intelligent guys I've ever met. Even though he comes off as an a*****e, he's a straightforward guy.

A friend I met through sport had dated Mel B's (former spice girl) daughter for a bit. He was telling me when he wen to her house once that they sat on a lounge with a security guard looking on and yeah thats pretty much it. They didn't last too long together.

I dated Brian Warner (aka Marilyn Manson) before he was famous. He wrote me really bad poetry and drove a Fiero.

She ditched me for a much better looking guy who was a year older. Jokes on her now though; she won an Oscar and I'm doing kind of ok.

Grew up with Tracy Spiridakos (Charlie from Revolution)

Kissed her once at a party so that counts right?..lol

She's a really cool person albeit a little snobby.

Dated Gabbie from the "GabbieShow" and SoFlo on Facebook/vine when we worked for a marketing company called smart circle. Shes got a big a*s and a big crazy ego to go with it. Good luck to anyone hittin that. She ended up f*****g my buddy because he payed "more attention" to her LOL.

Edit: No I do not have contact with her anymore, no I do not have her number. I didn't even get a reply back to me congratulating her on her new found success a couple years ago. There's that ego for ya.

Edit 2: We worked in a Sam's club together, I pushed DirecTV like it was crystal m**h at the time and she sold a different emerging product each month, both for a company called Smart Circle, and she was actually a good salesman and was very personable.

Minor celeb, but her band's been on MTV. We dated for a month or so, but we just didn't connect personality wise or see each other much with different schedules.

I've dated two, one went on to be a musician, and one a prominent radio personality.

The musician was a fling, lasted a few months and we mutually parted ways on friendly terms. He was very funny and competitive in bizarre and creative ways. He later went to Berkley School of music and now he and his band tours the U.S. and Canada last I heard. His music is good but I don't listen to it because, I dunno, it feels awkward?

The other one was a local radio DJ who did a top-40/rap station here, but his real passion was the band Pearl Jam, he f*****g LOVES that band. He was very cerebral, and we had lots of philosophical discussions. He had me do radio spots (commercials, etc) because he said I had a good voice for it. I later ended up doing things for other stations after we broke up. He broke up with me because I was 19 and he was 28. I was still living at home then. He now hosts a popular radio show in Los Angeles.

Both are still good people, neither have become jaded, washed-up a******s, or so the grapevine says here.

I am now happily married to a non-celebrity.

I went on *a date* with Nick Swardson. Very normal and sort of funny. He had to leave earlier to catch a flight and paid for me to have dinner by myself.

My grandmother dated Marshall Mathers Sr. in high school. She said he was a really nice guy.

Olivia O'Brien, who wrote "I Hate U I Love U" went to my high school. She was a year below me, but we were super close friends. One day, however, we were hanging out alone on a road in Napa and one thing lead to another, and we made out in my car. The next day, I was hanging out with a different girl who liked me and we, well, did it. So me and girl number two ended up dating. Olivia was heartbroken, and actually wrote her first version of "I Hate U I Love U" (the original is still on her SoundCloud profile, honestly really good looking back on it.) Thing is, Olivia is crazy, and can be a huge b***h if you get on her bad side. She made my life living h**l with my girlfriend, and was one of the reasons we broke up in the long run. Eventually, her and this Gnash dude meet up and do the collaboration for SoundCloud that now has a few million listens or something. She was a little bit of a local celebrity but hadn't blown up outside of our town yet. Her and I actually made up, but she left our school and now lives in LA recording new music and I haven't heard from her in a long time. The thing is, she was such a sweet girl and I feel horrible for playing her the way I did, but she's still super crazy. Either way, she's famous now, and I'm studying in college. She's successful in her way, but I wanna be successful in my own. How I hurt her in the past and where she ended up because of it inspires me to be a better person and to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Met a guy in an up and coming band first year of college. On and off for years bc I didn't want to date a guy in a band, plus he had dropped out of college to pursue his career and that seemed short sighted to me. Fast forward a couple years his band is winning VMAs. Fast forward a couple more there are very public issues. Fast forward a few silent years and they're bigger than they ever were. Still the same sweet generous loving man I met we just now have a bigger, better, more blessed life than I knew was even possible when we first met. Entertainment industry is super weird and fickle. There are times I wish I married an accountant, teacher or lawyer for the stability but I honestly wouldn't change it for the world. At this point the craziness is all we know.

Wasn't me, but my dad went to high school with Ricki Lake. They messed a round a bit according to him, he also broke her nose in gym class while spiking a volleyball, so I'm sure it didn't go that far.

I met a girl in on the late 80's. We lived in Texas. She was 16 and wanted to be an actress, I was 18 and had no ambition. We dated for a few years. She was discovered by p*****y magazine during a spring break trip shortly after turning 18. We moved to LA and she was in almost every face soap, tampon commercial. She did a few tv shows and starred in one teen movie. We broke up when she decided she liked long haired guitar players. We remained very good friends for years after the breakup. She got married and divorced to a different guy. He and I are best friends and neither of us speak to her anymore. Last I heard she was living in a s****y apartment and still trying to get famous. She made a lot of money for a few years in the mid 90's but she's past her prime now.
